"Opportunity! Gao Zheng...... Strike!!! Pretty! ”

He Ping raised his arms and shouted on the commentary seat.

Countless Chinese fans jumped up in front of the TV and cheered for the goal.

Although it was only an equalizer, not a reversal, but the equalization is the first step to overtake, if you can't even equalize the score, then what is there to talk about?

This is definitely a happy thing, but Gao Zheng did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but turned around and ran towards Zheng Zhi.

Before he received the ball, the last thing he saw the captain was the captain and the opposing player colliding and then clutching his ankle and falling to the ground.

After he scored, Zheng Zhi didn't get up yet, he was still holding his ankles and lying on the ground.

Gao Zheng chuckled in his heart when he saw this, knowing that it was broken.

So he didn't even bother to celebrate, and ran to see Zheng Zhi's situation.

And the other Chinese players who wanted to come up and celebrate his goal with him also set their sights on their captain at this time.

After seeing the captain's situation, he was also shocked.

Gao Zheng was the first to rush to Zheng Zhi's side, and asked a little anxiously, "How is the captain?" ”

Zheng Zhi gasped and said, "It's nothing......"

"Can you stand up?"

Gao Zheng tried to help Zheng Zhi up, but he tried several times, but it didn't work, and Zheng Zhi's right foot was completely weak.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to play this game......" Zheng Zhi smiled apologetically at Gao Zheng when he saw this.

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, he knew that the captain was telling the truth, and his ankle was already visibly swollen......

He gritted his teeth, got up and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.

Gao Zheng prompted substitutions to the sidelines...... Could it be that Zheng Zhi can't hold on? He Ping exclaimed. The good mood of scoring goals for the Chinese team has long been gone.

He remembered that before passing the ball to Gao Zheng, Zheng Zhi had two consecutive kicks with two Qatari players.

With a thirty-seven-year-old body, this is indeed a burden for him......

Zheng Zhi is the core of the team's midfield, a midfield metronome, if he can't stick to the game, it will be even worse for the current Chinese team!

Can the Chinese midfielder stabilize without Zheng Zhi?

Although Zheng Zhi is thirty-seven years old, judging from this game, his role is very important both offensive and defensive, and there is almost no one to replace.

That's why, until this age, he was still a regular in the national team.

I really can't find a successor......

Zheng Zhi was carried down on a stretcher, and when he left the game, he specially beckoned to Gao Zheng and asked Gao Zheng to come over.

Then he took off the captain's armband on his arm and handed it to Gao Zheng: "Put it on." ”

Gao Zheng didn't refuse, took the captain's armband and put it on his left arm.

Seeing him put on the armband, Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll leave it to you next." ”

He pinned his hopes on Gao Zheng.

He didn't show regret or reluctance, and he didn't even cry, even though it could be his last game for the national team......

"Don't worry, Captain." Gao Zheng smiled at Zheng Zhi. "Take care of your injuries and let's go to the World Cup together."

He gently patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder, and then joined other teammates to watch their captain being carried off the field on a stretcher.

Then he said to his teammates around him: "The game is not over yet, it's just that it's not safe to win, we have to try to win a few more goals and not give Syria any chance." ”

※※※

"The Chinese team equalized, but Zheng was injured and went off...... "The news was quickly reached by Syrian head coach Ayman al-Hakim" in the Syrian coach's box.

Hakim frowned and said, "Why is it that the injured is not high?" ”

His first reaction was not that the Chinese team equalized, but why it was not Gao Zheng who was injured, which shows that he really attaches great importance to Gao Zheng.

'Of course we want Gao to get injured as well, but it's good now. Zheng is also an indispensable figure in the Chinese team. Without him, the Chinese team can't control the midfield at all......" said the assistant coach.

"You're right, no matter what, Zheng's injury must be a blow to the Chinese team, disrupting Lippi's tactics, and it is estimated that it will also affect the morale and confidence of the other players in the Chinese team......," Hakim nodded. It is indeed unrealistic to expect Gao Zheng to be injured again, and in such a situation, the injury of Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese national team, is already a relatively good result.

With that in mind, he stood up from the dugout, intending to cheer up the players on the field.

Now the score is still 1:1, and the two sides are deadlocked.

Since there has been a good news from the Chinese team, then we must seize it.

They have to win this game.

It's been sixty-three minutes now, and the score is still 1:1, so how can you win against Iran if you don't hurry up?

But just as Hakim got up and walked to the edge of the command area, the Iranian team launched an attack on the field.

Their striker Azmoun ran wild with the ball and scored the ball into the Syrian goal!

The Azadi Stadium thundered with joy, and Hakim's body shook as if he had been hammered by the cheers......

※※※

"Iran is ahead!!" He Ping couldn't wait to spread the news to the Chinese audience in front of the television.

Whether the Chinese team can qualify for the play-offs as the third in the group, at present, the direct competitor is not Uzbekistan, but Syria.

If the Chinese team can't win the match with Qatar and Syria wins, regardless of whether Syria can have the upper hand in the competition with South Korea and Uzbekistan, at least the play-offs and the Chinese team will not be available.

Only if Syria cannot win the game, the Chinese team needs to consider the result of the match between Uzbekistan and South Korea.

Now the Iranian team is very strong and did not deliberately release water.

Now that the other party has done this, shouldn't the Chinese team do their own things well?

There are still 26 minutes left for the Chinese team, and if you count injury time, there may be nearly half an hour.

In this half hour, the Chinese team only needs one goal.

But what is worrying is whether Zheng Zhi's fate will have an adverse impact on the Chinese team......

The TV broadcast focused the camera on Gao Zheng, who was sorting out the captain's armband on his arm, he didn't seem to be very used to wearing this thing, and he collapsed a little when he ran.

After Zheng Zhi left the game, the eyes of all Chinese fans were focused on Gao Zheng like this close-up.

In the Chinese team, there are actually a few people who are more qualified than Gao Zheng to wear the captain's armband, Gao Zheng is not the first captain of the team, nor is he the second or third captain.

But Zheng Zhi personally handed over the captain's armband to Gao Zheng at this critical moment, and he also understood what it meant.

This is not the captain's armband, but the expectation of this team to enter the World Cup, the expectation of everyone, the entrustment, and the burden of a thousand pounds.
